All missing-nin on record are contained and rated within the Bingo Book. There are 6 seperate ranks one may be given depending on how dangerous you are deemed to be. The ranks are:

E Rank - Only the most pathetically weak missing-nin qualify for this, and could likely be caught by mere genin.

D Rank - Often reserved for genin missing-nin, typically capture instead of killing is prefered for missing-nin of this level.

C Rank - These missing-nin are moderately threatening, though still not worth sending more than a jounin or two chuunin after.

B Rank - Missing-nin at this level have either committed numerous crimes already, or possess a recognised degree of power that makes them potentially dangerous. Hunting and capturing these missing-nin whenenver they are seen is vital.

A Rank - Very dangerous missing-nin likely possessing both great abilities, but also having committed numerous crimes. Capture is preferable, but killing is also acceptable given the dangerous nature of people at this rank.

S Rank - Only the most dangerous of criminals possess this rank, and their capture should not even be attempted. Hunting and killing these missing-nin is preferable, as their abilities can sometimes be equal to those of village Kage's.

A missing-nin's rank is determined and stated by the appropriate village GM during creation. In each missing-nin's character sheet should be the following form, properly filled out:

Quote:

[B]Name:[/B]
[B]Shinobi Rank:[/B] (Their shinobi rank, e.g. Genin, Chuunin, etc)
[B]Missing-nin Rank:[/B] (The missing-nin rank assigned by the appropriate village GM)
[B]Shinobi Village:[/B] (List the shinobi village they are from)
[B]Last Location:[/B] (Indicate where the missing-nin was last seen)
[B]Additional Notes:[/B] (Leave here any notes that may be of use to parties hunting this missing-nin)
[B]Reward:[/B] (Leave any details of a reward on offer for their capture or killing and how to collect it; this is completely IC)

Do not give your character a missing-nin rank; let the village GM handle it.
